Re: brand listings

no arguments here

not sure if there are any companies missing from the list or not, I have a reasonable sized list of companies on my site here. They aren't ranked or anything, but you might be able to see if your list is missing anything.

Re: brand listings

i think im leaning toward this list^^ because i liek the bold companies rather than all the stars.. the stars are a little too much flash in my opinion.

It's in my sig on a site I put up.

I formatted all the text and alphabetized it all. The way it's setup is so you don't have to look at all the brands at once, just in the sections you want to look at. Eliminates scrolling.

Re: brand listings

yeah.. but dude its like 2 seconds worth of scrolling.. come on how lazy do we have to be haha.. and i think this way would be more informative because a noob will see all brands at once and know where they lie on the list.. rather than only clicking on highly recommended and still saying.. hey is sony good?

besides is seems easier just to post it.. no links.. no 3rd party sites that might not always be there.. etc

It's my site, my hosting through my cable ISP. It will always be there and ensure longevity. Besides, it was just a solution until Paul stickied a thread for this.

Re: brand listings

Didn't cross reference all of them, but here is a link that might include some other brands. How do you all feel about this list?
